We are delighted to announce that Sport 4 Life UK have been recognised at the National StreetGames Awards as the winners of the Sport for Good Award. StreetGames is a UK wide charity network with over 800 members that uses sport to change lives and communities in deprived areas. The Awards took place as part of a two day National Sport 4 Good Conference at Warwick University.

Sport 4 Life creates a better future for unemployed and socially excluded young people, by improving their employability and key life skills through our sports-themed personal development programmes.

This award will help to raise awareness of the great work we do in helping young people and raise the profile of the charity. It is also a big pat on the back to our staff who deliver our life changing programmes.”
